Recipe Notes
Hummingbird feeder cleaning notes:
I like having two feeders to ensure food is always available.
When the food gets old, I make a new batch and put it out.
Then I start the washing process of the old food container. I soak everything in warm soapy water, then use a special hummingbird cleaning brush to clean the bottle and lid.
I also use toothpicks for the tiny holes on both sides of the lid. Make sure your feeder is very clean before allowing to air dry.
